After months of waiting, the trailer for Ben Affleck's The Town finally dropped at the end of last week (featuring the Fenway Park scenes that were shot across the street from Phoenix headquarters). And, as expected, it looks like another fine addition to the region's growing canon of rich, deep, and dark films. (The book on which is is based, Chuck Hogan's Prince of Thieves, is outstanding source material). We'll obviously be covering the piss out of this as the September theater date approaches, but for now you can catch up with these two recent Phoenix articles:
